Jazz and blues are the genres that have most significantly impacted me as a singer. Jazz developed from roots in blues which began with oral tradition from black Americans who were dehumanised and enslaved in the south on the cotton fields. It is unacceptable to love this music that came out of so much oppression without recognising the pain that it stemmed from and while remaining silent about the depth of racism that still remains. Only recently have I began educating myself on the history of racism and I will continue to do so. I by no means understand but I will contribute all that I can. As a white individual who is privileged due to the colour of my skin (how fucking ridiculous is that ) I am aware of how important it is to use my voice. We need to stand together and scream black lives matter from the rooftops. We need to rebuild this society. Whether you are active on social media or not it is your duty to speak out. I hope you enjoy this cover X
